  • Has this update to the Hyundai i30 Sedan N - aka Elantra N - been worth the wait?

    • Track test! 2024 #hyun...
    It's more expensive and more high-tech. But it's no faster! And there's some tech that's actually a bit annoying about this newer model.
    But for the new i30 Sedan N there have been some significant changes to the way the car drives, including some adjustments to the suspension and steering that make it more liveable, new engine mounts to stop axle-tramp, and ESC recalibrations for track days.
    It's one of the best cars you can get if you want as much bang for your buck. But would the new annoying safety features put you off?

    As an owner of the '24 Sedan N, I honestly can't hear the speed recognition warnings over the exhaust and stereo sounds 🤣 The blue link features (unfortunately not discussed in this video), wheels, and updated design were worth it for me. This thing is a blast to drive.

      @@lukemothug3744 It's totally down to preference. I was worried about the rear bumper on the 24 until I saw it in person. Once I saw it, I understood it. It looks more aggressive in person. But my favourite thing about the new rear is that the red trim goes all the way around the back. On the PFL model the red trim tapers off at the rear and doesn't reach the wheels, so the back end looks a bit disconnected from the rest of the car. But different strokes for different folks I guess.

    Currently have a 21 Sonata N line from new, cannot make up my mind between this or a new Sonata. When the lease is up, the pro’s and cons, almost balance each other out. No radar cruise may seal the deal against it. (Hard to give up once you’ve had it).

    Great review Matt!
    As an owner of the pfl model, not enough of a step up in features to consider an upgrade for me, and the addition of even more stuff i have to turn off every time i drive it is a deal breaker for me.
    If they go awd and/or hybrid for the next gen, i reckon that'd be enough for me to pull the trigger on an update.
    Keep up the great content!

    This car at certain front angles looks like that N Vision car Hyundai keeps threatening their going to make. This car is a track weapon, there's no doubt about that and you could bring your family along which is a plus. One alternate you left off but I understand why (its a hot topic right now) the MG5. Its punchy while not as surgical on the track(no track mode but it can handle the business)for less money. ANCAP decided to make an example of them with all the fresh cash they got for existing and MG Australia had the temerity to tell them they werent going to put ADAS in their cars because they wanted to keep their prices less ridiculous.
